Ted Cruz Criticizes Marjorie Taylor Greene's Epstein-Linked Posts Amid GOP Tensions

News summary

Senator Ted Cruz criticized Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene for a social media post in which she suggested she could be killed due to her efforts to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, interpreting her vague references to "foreign governments or powerful people" as veiled accusations against Jewish individuals. Greene responded by condemning Cruz's remarks as false and anti-Semitic, emphasizing that she never attacked any specific group but called out foreign governments and special interests. Greene expressed fear for her life, citing death threats linked to her efforts to expose trafficking and abuse networks, and she has faced pressure to remove her name from a discharge petition to force a vote on the full release of Epstein case files. The exchange highlights a deepening rift within the Republican Party, with Greene defending her position against criticism from fellow Republicans who have largely sided with President Trump, who dismissed the effort as a "Democrat hoax." Cruz's comments drew backlash for mischaracterizing Greene's statements and diverting attention from the issues she raised. Greene also criticized Cruz's Canadian birth in her rebuttal, framing his accusations as a smear rather than a genuine critique.
